Elevated weekend cabin

When I started this design, I was interested in how to design a building which didn’t impact the site as much as traditional construction methods. Especially with this being an isolated weekend cabin in a natural setting, I didn’t want to design something that permanently scars the landscape. Equally, the hillside setting allowed for a unique opportunity to elevate the cabin to the height of the trees. It was important to me to maintain a rustic cabin atmosphere, so the material palette is limited to timber and stone.
